CSEDL Manager is a library management software designed exclusively for the management of the department library of Computer Science and Engineering department of Malabar Institute of Technology, Anjarakandy. The purpose behind the creation of this software is to familiarize MVC programming using the amazing framework called CodeIgniter. This is developed as a time pass project by me and should be considered only at that level.
The latest version of CSEDL Manager is v 2.1.2 released on 02-08-2015. The software is still under testing and should be used with care.
Meanwhile, you can report any issues you found using GitHub Issues page.

PHP version 5.4 or newer is recommended.
It should work on 5.2.4 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance issues, as well as missing features.
MySQL 5.6 is used for the development. It will run fine on MySQL 5.5 or above.
To install this software, copy the source tree into your server's root directory. The database with sample values are given in db_backup folder. Import it into your database. Configure your dabase parameters in the file ci_application/config/database.php.
Please see the license agreement.
Report security issues to Security Panel, thank you.
I would like to thank The CodeIgniter team, EllisLab, DataTables team, Jasny Bootstrap, all the contributors to the CodeIgniter project and you, the CSEDL Manager user.
